Would you let it drop?

[fischermx]

I don't have tons of domains, but still they are too much.
I've been letting drop some of them, just because I thought they were not good after all.
But some of these names, while parked generate a revenue from $0.10 to $0.40 a month. That still does not make it to get even with the renewal fees, or barely make it.
Would you let drop domains like this ?

First, I would try to sell them off here, or on Ebay - and get whatever you can for them (sometimes you can be surprised). If some don't go for even 99 cents then, yes, let it drop. Or give it away for rep points.

That depends on the names. Here are some questions to aks yourself.

1. I've got some names that are generating about the same amount of parking revenue but there is no way I would ever let them drop because they are very brandable and have reseller value.

2. What's the extension? A lot of my .US and .TV domains generate little revenue but 4-5 years from now it could be a much different story.

3. Where are they parked? You might try a different parking company to see if you can get those revenues up a bit more. If you can get $1.00 per month, you've covered your registration fees.

If they make 0.10 to 0.40 each month parked they are not worthless. I'm sure somebody would be interested to buy some of them.

try to sell them before they expire, show their revenues and try to get a good price. Just think that 0,99$ is more than 0$. At least, give them a try before dropping them.

If they are making .10 - .40 cents a month i'm sure someone will buy them for around $20 if you can prove traffic and revenue. If they do not sell then i would just do a bargain price and from there if nothing let it drop unless it made reg fee IMO.

Agreed 100%

fischermx, follow Zona's advice. or at least consider it before you decide.


Quick story, I had a .net domain used to make $0.05 - $0.10 on Sedo. I thought about moving it to Parked for a week before I sell it.

After I moved it to Parked and optimized very well, this domain started to make $0.50 - $1 daily. I renewed it and park it for another 3 months. then I sold it here on NamePros for $275 (plus $67 earned parking)

I normally do a check for the past years revenue. If it was less than $3 then it's probably a dud unless there is obvious intrisic value like CCC.com. Only you can judge what's crap for you but it's free to try and price them and sell at forums like NP or DP.

I keep getting denied (twice now) a parked.com account. It's frustrating because while I don't park the best of my domains, I do have 400 domains parked as they aren't ready for development. I earn like $70- $100 per month from Sedo Pro which is fine...I just want them to earn something until I develop (where I make much more money).

Anyone have any connections at Parked.com to get me in?
